Blog 6: Secondary Source 2

This book is about the arguments scholarly persons have about divorce in the 21st Century (Harvey and Mark, 3). It goes on to discuss that their hopes for the book aren’t only to show pain but also hope. I think this source will be a good secondary source for my project because I think the word divorce becomes synonymous with a negative results or effect. Although there are many surveys, case studies, and written reports that this is true, as more research is done I have come to realize that in some cases divorce has had a more positive outcome. This book references multiple person’s standing on the effects. It is mentioned that two scholars Furstenburg and Cherlin “proposed that, whenever there is trouble in a marriage, children will suffer…” (Harvey and Mark, 11). However, through this truth, other scholars feel that through successfully dealing with these issues and managing their effects, kids may have a higher self-esteem. They may also be more sensitive to others problems (Harvey and Mark, 11). Just through these few examples I think it is evident that this paper will be full of information describing, and defending why and how certain aspects of a divorce can and will positively/negatively effect a kid. I plan to use this book as a strong secondary source to provide multiple examples and explanations.
